Ingredients:

Slurry.

1. 3 tablespoons all purpose flour, or gluten-free flour mix
2. 1/4 cup half and half
3. 1 cup cold water, divided

Soup.

1. 7 ounces sweet Italian chicken sausage, removed from casings
2. Olive oil spray
3. 5 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
4. 1 large shallot, diced
5. 6 garlic cloves, minced
6. 2 teaspoons tomato paste
7. 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
8. 1 parmesan cheese rind
9. 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
10. 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
11. 16 ounce package gnocchi, or gluten-free gnocchi
12. 4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, rough chopped
13. 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
14. 2 tbsp fresh basil , optional for garnish

Instructions:

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup cold water, half & half, and flour; whisk to incorporate well. This will create a slurry. Put aside.

Add the sausage to a large saucepan or Dutch oven that has been heated to medium heat and sprayed with oil. Cook the sausage until it is no longer pink and has a slight brown color, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Add the garlic and shallots, and sauté for three minutes, or until tender. Add the chicken breast and tomato paste.

Add the remaining half cup of water, along with the chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan rind, and Italian spice, and heat until boiling. Simmer on low for about 25 minutes, partially covered, or until the veggies are tender and the chicken shreds easily.

After removing the chicken, set it aside and shred it using two forks.
Bring the mixture back to a boil while adding the slurry gently and stirring thoroughly. Then, add the chicken back to the saucepan.

Add the gnocchi, spinach, parmesan cheese, and basil. Cook the gnocchi per the gnocchi package instructions, or until the soup thickens and the gnocchi begin to float to the top. Toss in the parmesan cheese rind, taste and adjust salt and pepper, and serve.
